It was in the main more like the Ukraine, but that would have seemed far
north to Josephus.
We know where the Scythians lived because they constructed kurgans, or
burial mounds, for their dead, and you can find these over a fairly wide
area. While they were a living culture, their language influenced Greek and
gave us some words that have even filtered through to Modern English, for
example 'butter' comes via Latin from Greek 'buteros' which is in turn
thought to be from from a Scythian borrowing.
They were pretty much between a rock and a hard place being in between the
Slavs on the one hand and the ravaging tatar hordes on the other.
See http://www.thenewagesite.com/jjdewey/gathering/chapter20.php for other
possible interpretations of Gog and Magog.
